Will the discontinued iphone 5 be able to update ios versions?

I have an iphone 5 and i'm about to upgrade depending on the answer to this question. I know that apple has discontinued the iphone 5, but does ghat mean i won't be able to upgrade to ios 7.1 or ios 8 when they come out? And if i upgrade to the 5c will that be able to ios 8?

Yes the iphone 5 will be able to be updated

It will update to a certain point only. Eventually its hardware won't be able to handle all of the new features and then later on updates will stop for that model.

The iPhone 5 will get iOS 7.1 & 8 & possibly 9 as well. Just cause its discontinued doesn't mean they cut support for it.

For example, the original iPhone debuted in 2007 with iOS 1.0 & was discontinued in 2008 about the time when iOS 2.0 debuted on the iPhone 3G, but it got updates up until iOS 3.1.3 just before the iPhone 4 debuted in 2010.

Does the se still get updates?

  • Will the iPhone 5S support apps when they update to iOS13 versions? I heard the iPhone 5S will not get IOS13. Which I do believe if will happen because this is an old device. My question is, how long will apps like Facebook and Instagram be able to run on these phonea in iOS 12?
  • Will the iphone 4 be discontinued soon? I'm willing to purchase an iphone 4, but I've called many shops and they said that they've stopped selling the iphone 4 and only had the iphone 4s and iphone 5 in store. I'm not so keen on buying the iphone 4 if its going to be discontinued in a couple of months. Is it about time that shops stopped selling the iphone 4, as it came out in 2010, and there are 2 newer phones after this?
  • Will iPhone 4 Be Able To Update To iOS 7? I have an iPhone 4, and was wondering if it will be able to update to iOS 7. Mainly because my ipod 3rd gen can't update to iOS 6, and I got that a year or so before my I got my iPhone.
